Wiki.

The 1997 SummerSlam (marketed as SummerSlam: Hart & Soul) was the 10th annual SummerSlam professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). It took place on August 3, 1997, at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Seven matches were contested at the event. This event was the second to be held in New Jersey with the first previous event held in 1989.

The show also included the culmination of a contest in partnership with Discovery Zone with a $1 million prize which nobody won. It included several attempted calls where nobody was home. The contest ended after a potential winner failed to guess the proper key to the casket containing the prize money.

The event also marked the first WWF pay-per-view appearance of Michael Cole, and the last WWF pay-per-view appearance of Todd Pettengill, who left the company before returning to host segments, and matches of the WWE DVD, and Blu-ray release The Best of In Your House: Pay-Per-View Classics 1995-1999 in 2013.
